Dr Marisa Linton visits St Paul’s

May 30, 2018

The History Society were delighted to welcome Marisa Linton, from Kingston University, to talk on Robespierre and other leaders of the French Revolution. Her talk ranged widely and dealt with some of the thornier historiographic controversies including Robespierre’s responsibility for the Terror and the role of revolutionary discourse. There was lively debate and Professor Linton particularly commented on the quality of the girls’ questions.
